Well...being in that situation, I find communication is more important than ever. Talking (SMS/Calls), sending little jokes, flirting randomly, or just having some fun on an online game together. Also...I always find it fun, to send and receive pictures while walking around, just kinda "showing" what we are doing, makes it a little more "real" if you know what I mean

I would have to say Stephen really gave good advice on that. I have never been in a real long distance relationship so my advice would be rather noobish. I will say that honestly is always the key to any long lasting relationship.

Honesty, and openness are 2 seriously important factors in any relationship. In a long distance relationship (which I am in), you should also have a LOT of trust for the other person, and never put too much pressure on them.

Also, along with that, you should always try to meet up as often as you can. Communication, and mutual respect/love is one thing, but NOTHING can replace the feeling of holding your partner, or being next to them. Yes, leaving them again will hurt, but...that will make you stronger

I wondered about that too - I mean, resurrecting this old thread with that somewhat jaundiced statement about "drinking to forget" an' all.

There is a lady called Nina Paley who apparently had a rough ride in a long-distance relationship, and after a baptism of fire she came through with a creative and beautiful animated movie that told a mythological story in a way that effectively parallelled her own life experiences in that difficult time. Me and my kids love to watch it. It's called Sita sings the bluesShe's no slouch, and seems to have an interesting - albeit possibly cynical - handle on the history of the Middle-Eastern "theatre", as well: This Land is Mine.

I hadn't spotted it earlier. There seems to have been a rash of spam from @Otofbcop lately.Still, I reckon that @f0dder was on to something with his comment about "drinking to forget". I used to do that - in fact I'm not sure, but I might still be doing it.
